Description

  The present invention relates to a screen operation system, a screen operation method through a GUI (Graphical User Interface) in a video game, a computer game, and the like, and a method of providing a network service using this GUI.

  Conventionally, video games have been developed in various ways. As a form of the game, a system for executing game software on a general-purpose computer such as a personal computer is provided in addition to a home-use game machine and an arcade game for business use. . As for the game software providing system, a so-called online game service for providing a game program via a communication network such as the Internet is becoming widespread, instead of using a conventional recording medium such as a CD-ROM.

  One of the games is a sports simulation game such as a fishing game. In this sports simulation game, the player inputs various conditions related to the action for fishing a fish based on a user operation. The various conditions are input through an input interface such as a controller of a game machine or a mouse through a GUI displayed on the screen, for example.

  By the way, in the sports simulation game, various GUIs have been proposed and developed so that the various conditions (data) input according to the skill of the operator, such as operation timing, are changed in order to improve game performance. Yes. Some game console controllers have a vibration function, which can be used to convey to the user the feel and damage experienced by the character being operated in the game's virtual space.

  However, a terminal such as a personal computer that does not have the vibration function has been devised to visually express the feeling received by the character as described above with various indicators displayed on the screen. In particular, in a simulation game such as a fishing game, it is important for the entertainment of the game how to make the character feel the image and how to express the reality of the response operation.

  For example, in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, when a player performs a click operation, a character in the screen performs casting by swinging a heel, and while watching a power gauge that displays the strength of casting, the casting distance (fishing line length: Line meter) can be adjusted. When a fish appears, an underwater screen is provided in the game screen to display the fish, and an alignment button for hooking the fish on the needle is displayed. In this underwater screen, you can check the positional relationship between the food and the fish, and you can hook the fish by pressing the button when the fish bites the food.

  Next, the fish caught is picked up. To display a tension gauge and a roll-up button on the game screen, and operate the roll-up button while adjusting the tension so that the tension gauge is within a predetermined range, and then successfully fish and acquire fish (items) Can do. As described above, according to the GUI disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the timing of alignment is shifted, the fish escapes, or when the tension gauge display deviates from the predetermined range when winding up, It can be set to run away.

  However, since the relationship between the angler (character) and the fish in the water is displayed on the underwater screen, the situation that cannot be seen in the actual fishing is visually expressed. There is a problem of losing. On the other hand, if the relationship between the character and the fish is not expressed at all, there is a problem that the feeling received by the character is not transmitted and the game is not interesting.

Furthermore, since the game world is a virtual world, events in the game are completed as events on the screen. However, on the online game system, it is possible to manage the game results for each user and continuously provide services to each user according to the game results. New business linked with various services is also expected.
JP 2004-133815 A

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above points, and provides a more realistic screen operation system and screen operation method in the operation of a simulation game and the like. It is an object to provide a network service providing method that can realize a new business linked with a service.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention is a screen operation system that performs an operation on an object in a virtual space displayed on a two-dimensional screen, and an input unit that inputs an operation command to the object. A movement amount display unit that displays a change in the movement amount of the object according to the movement command, a cumulative effect display unit that displays a cumulative effect due to the movement of the object, and when the cumulative effect reaches a predetermined value, possess an event generating unit for executing the next event processing in the virtual space, the operation amount display section, a change in the operation amount, expressed in the diameter of a circle enlarging or reducing in response to an increase or decrease of the change The cumulative effect display unit expresses the cumulative effect by increasing or decreasing the gauge that forms an arc concentric with the circle .

In the above invention, the object is a character that performs fishing, the operation command is a fishing line winding operation, the change in the operation amount is the tension of the fishing line generated by the winding operation, and the cumulative effect is the character The input means is an input interface with a button for performing a click operation, and a change in operation amount is given while the button is kept down. It is preferable that the effect is continuously accumulated, the operation is interrupted by releasing the button, the effect accumulation is also interrupted, and the event processing is an operation for allowing the character to catch a fish and image processing.

  According to the present invention, since the instantaneous movement amount and the cumulative effect can be displayed together, the operation of a sports simulation game such as fishing and paragliding can be easily imagined by the user. It will be a thing. For example, during fishing line winding operation in fishing, the tension applied to the fishing line can be used as an instantaneous operation amount, and the length of the fishing line on which the fishing line is wound up (distance between the angler and the fish) can be displayed as a cumulative effect. it can.

  In addition, when the mouse click operation is adopted as the input means described above, for example, the button down is set as an instantaneous action of the character, the effect is accumulated while the button is kept down, and the button is released. Thus, by interrupting the action of the character (for example, releasing the tension applied to the fishing line) and interrupting the accumulation of effects, the user can imagine the action and feel of the character more realistically.

  In the above invention, an application server that is arranged on a communication network constructed by connecting communication lines to each other, constructs and displays a virtual space, and provides a service through the virtual space; A client terminal that is connected to an application server and displays a virtual space, and a client terminal that includes an input unit; and a user that is connected to the application server and operates the client terminal.

  The event in the above invention may be a process of selecting and managing a mailed item according to the type and quantity of virtual fish caught by the character. In this case, for example, by executing a procedure for sending a real fish that is the same as (or similar to) the fish caught in the virtual game world to the user, the events in the virtual world are made real. A service to deliver to users can be realized.

  In the above invention, the management server records an operation history for each character by each user, an occurrence history of event processing, and a history of provision of a specific service, and presents these histories in a viewable manner through a communication network. It is preferable to have. In this case, it is possible to store the history of the game, the results of the game, the services received based on the results, etc. on a server on the network. The history can be browsed freely from the telephone.

  In the above invention, the information distribution function of the management server preferably displays a virtual photographed image in the virtual space corresponding to each history for browsing each history. In this case, since the video on the game screen is added to the history information as if it were a commemorative photo, events in the virtual game world are recorded with a sense of reality.

  In the above invention, the input means can be a controller that can be operated by the user's hand, and this controller has a built-in sensor for measuring a change in inclination angle and a change in acceleration. preferable.

  In addition, while the game progresses, production and sense of presence are enhanced, and information is distributed and information is shared at regular intervals as a topic between players, but simple information sharing is performed while casting conditions are being entered. The input conditions after the completion of the operation are completely shared through the game server 5.

  In the CPU 2, various modules are constructed by executing the fishing game software. Here, the “module” refers to a functional unit that is configured by hardware such as an apparatus or a device, software having the function, or a combination thereof, and achieves a predetermined operation.

  Specifically, on the CPU 2, when a fishing game is executed, a screen configuration unit 22, a 3D configuration unit 23, a GUI control unit 24, an enlargement / reduction control unit 25, an application execution unit 26, and a 2D configuration Part 27 is constructed.

  The application execution unit 26 is a module that executes fishing game software and advances a fishing game with objects arranged in the virtual three-dimensional space 3, and specifically, by executing a fishing game program, Game progress management according to fishing rules (appearance probability of each fish, resistance to fishing line tension, required winding distance, etc.), event processing management according to game progress results, selected for each user and used Based on the character's ability parameters, characteristics of items such as fishing rods and food, etc., the calculation of casting (fishing line) conditions by a user operation is performed, and calculation processing of a simulation of fishing in a virtual space is executed.

  In this fishing game program, the virtual 3D space 3 is expressed in 3D to enhance the realistic sensation of images, etc., but the final display device is 2D, which helps the user understand the space. As the interface, the camera work to move on the vertical plane along the launch direction is automatically executed, or the plane is expressed in a form associated with the power gauge.

  Then, a user operation is accepted via the input interface 15, the program is advanced according to the conditions (operation data) acquired by the user operation, and display information (3D polygon etc.) according to the game progress is generated. In addition, it is displayed on the windows 31 to 33 as a two-dimensional plane, and the sound accompanying the display is output.

  The screen configuration unit 22 is a module that controls the windows 31 to 33 displayed on the screen. Specifically, a virtual camera that defines a field-of-view range is arranged in the virtual three-dimensional space 3, and an object captured by the virtual camera is displayed on each of the windows 31 to 33 as a two-dimensional plane. In the present embodiment, the window 33 is a main window that captures the background of the character movement over the character, and the GUI 34 is arranged on the main window. The window 32 is a jump window imaged from another angle, and the window 31 is a top window in which the whole view is seen from above.

  The 3D configuration unit 23 is a module that virtually configures a three-dimensional space and controls the coordinate position of an object existing on the three-dimensional coordinates in the virtual three-dimensional space 3. The 2D configuration unit 27 is a module that two-dimensionally displays the virtual three-dimensional space 3 on the windows 31 to 33 in accordance with the visual field range of each window based on the types, areas, and shapes of the windows 31 to 33. The expansion / contraction control unit 25 is a module that changes the area or shape of the windows 31 to 33 based on an operation by the input device 15a.

  The GUI control unit 24 is a module that is arranged in the windows 31 to 33 (mainly the main window 33 in the present embodiment) and controls a graphic user interface (GUI) 34 for displaying and operating the game. In the present embodiment, an operation for an object displayed in the display 11 is input by the input device 15a through the GUI 34, and the fishing game is advanced in accordance with the operation.

  The GUI 34 is a gauge-type graphic mainly displayed on the main window 33, and as shown in FIG. 2, an operation amount display unit 34a that displays a change in the operation amount of the object according to an operation command based on a user operation, It is comprised from the accumulation effect display part 34b which displays the accumulation of the effect by operation | movement of an object.

  More specifically, in the present embodiment, the object is a character 35 that performs fishing as shown in FIG. 3, the operation command is a fishing line winding operation, and the change in the operation amount is a winding operation. This is the tension of the fishing line generated by. Then, by continuing to apply tension to the fishing line, the fishing line is wound up, and the winding amount is the movement distance of the fish, and this is an event trigger as an accumulated effect amount.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the GUI 34 expresses the magnitude of the fishing line tension by the diameter of the circular movement amount display section 34a, and the amount of fishing line winding (distance to the fish character) as an arc. It is expressed as the number of gauge changes. Then, when the amount of fishing line wound up (accumulation of effects) reaches a predetermined value, the next event process, that is, a character fishing operation and image processing are executed.

  In the casting operation at the start of fishing, first, the character swings the fishing rod and the fishing line is ejected in response to a casting operation start operation (for example, mouse click). The appearance frequency of each fish is determined according to the casting position of the casting operation, the type of food, and the characteristics of the character, and the fish is caught on the fishing line with a probability corresponding to the frequency.

  Thereafter, the operation when the fish is caught is processed by the application execution unit 26, and the game proceeds with the fishing line winding operation. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the operation signal input system in the application execution unit 26.

  First, the application execution unit 26 includes an input signal detection unit 266 and an operation data generation unit 267 that generates operation data corresponding to the input signal as a module that acquires an operation signal input from the input device 15a. .

  Further, the application execution unit 26 includes a gauge control unit 268, an event generation unit 269, and an object control unit 270 as modules that control objects according to the generated operation data.

  The gauge control unit 268 is a module that performs graphic control, such as switching of the display form in the GUI 34, and arithmetically processes the value of an operation signal input through the GUI 34. The cumulative amount calculation unit 268a that calculates the cumulative amount; An operation amount calculation unit 268b for calculating the operation amount.

  The movement amount calculation unit 268b calculates the magnitude of the tension generated at the moment of mouse button down, and as long as the button down state continues, based on the relationship between the tension and the resistance of the fish, Execute the take-off operation. When the button-down state of the mouse is released, the tension of the fishing line is also released, and the winding operation is interrupted, while the winding amount becomes 0 or minus. Whether the winding amount during the interruption is 0 or minus can be calculated based on the type of fish (residual resistance).

  The cumulative amount calculation unit 268a calculates a winding amount per unit time according to changes in tension and resistance of the fish, and calculates a winding amount based on the product of the winding amount and time. The data calculated in the gauge control unit 268 is input to the event generation unit 269 and the output data generation unit 271.

  The event generation unit 269 monitors the value of the data input from the gauge control unit 268 and outputs an event generation trigger signal to the object control unit 270 when this value exceeds a predetermined threshold value. It is a module that transmits a trigger signal to the game server 5 through the communication interface 13.

  The object control unit 270 configures a 3D animation of a fish fishing operation in response to the occurrence of an event, and executes processing for configuring 3D based on the operation signal acquired and calculated by the gauge control unit 268. A signal is output to an external module through the output data generation unit 271. Based on this signal, the 2D configuration unit 27 generates a 2D image to be displayed in 2D on each window, and displays it on the display 11 through the display interface 14.

  The game server 5 is an application server that is arranged on a communication network constructed by connecting communication lines to each other, executes a program for building and displaying a virtual space for playing fishing games, and provides services through the virtual space And a function as a management server for specifying a user who operates the user terminal 1 and managing the user and event processing based on the user's operation in association with each other.

  Then, when the event process occurs, the game server 5 starts a specific service for the user associated with the event process, and performs management related to the specific service for the user according to an instruction to start the service. Specifically, the online game is distributed to the user terminal 1 by the application server function, and the user who executes the online game is authenticated and specified by the management server function, and the service is charged.

  Further, when event processing occurs on the user terminal 1 side, the game server 5 selects a mailed item according to the type and quantity of virtual fish caught by the character and manages data related thereto. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, when a user catches a fish on the user terminal 1 side and an event occurs, the type and quantity of fish caught on the user side are acquired on the game server 5 side.

  The game server 5 selects a fish corresponding to the type and quantity of the acquired fish, connects to the terminal 61 of the fish seller 6 to notify the selection data, and the specified address of the user. Request shipping procedures to mail. The fish dealer 6 sends the requested fish to the user's home. Here, the type of fish to be picked up is determined on the user terminal 1 side, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the fish server that can be shipped at the game server 5 or the terminal 61 of the fish seller 6 is used. The type and quantity may be stored and held in advance, and the event occurrence unit 269 of the user terminal may adjust the appearance probability of fish that can be picked up.

  In addition, the management server function of the game server 5 records an operation history for each character by each user, an event processing occurrence history, and a specific service provision history, and presents these histories in a viewable manner through a communication network. A function having an information distribution function is provided, and in this information distribution function, a virtual captured image in the virtual space can be displayed in correspondence with each history for browsing each history.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, history information called “self chronology” is created in the game server 5. The “self chronology” stores the history of various Internet services provided through the game server 5, for example, the creation of blogs and diaries, net auctions, shopping, image uploads, etc., together with text data and image data. Has been. As part of this history information, the result of the online game described above can also be recorded together with the image data of the game screen. These history information can be classified and edited based on various keywords and attributes (date and time, data type, user name, etc.), and albums in various formats can be viewed as their own chronology. Can do.

(Network service provision method)
By operating the 3D game device having the above configuration, the network service providing method of the present invention can be implemented. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the network service providing method according to the present embodiment.

  First, the user terminal connects to the communication network 4 and accesses the game server 5. In this access processing, user authentication is performed by login processing (S101 and S102). For example, if an ID or password is input and the user database 51 is referred to and the user can be specified, the login is permitted as an authorized user (S103).

  After the authentication process is successful, the game server 5 starts an online game (S104). At this time, the game server 5 transmits various data necessary for the progress of the game to the user terminal side, and the game program is executed on the user terminal 1 side.

  When the game is started, the user terminal 1 selects a character for fishing, a fishing rod used by the character, food, and the like based on the user operation (S105). The game server 5 acquires the setting data by this selection operation, determines the type of fish that appears in fishing and the probability of appearance (appearance frequency) based on this setting data (S106), and transmits it to the user terminal 1 side. .

  The user performs casting by operating the operation device of the user terminal 1 (S107). Depending on the position of this casting (where the food was thrown in), the establishment of the appearing fish is varied.

  Next, the game program hits the fish according to the establishment (S108). In response to this fish hit, the user starts a winding operation (S109). In the winding operation, a button such as a mouse is pressed, and while the button is being pressed, the character performs a winding operation of the fishing line, and the fishing line is tensioned. As the tension increases, the diameter of the operation amount display unit 34a increases. While a certain tension is applied, the fishing line is wound up, the distance between the fish and the character is shortened, and the cumulative effect display portion 34b is increased as the distance decreases. On the other hand, when the button is released, the winding operation is interrupted and the fishing line is loosened. The diameter of the operation amount display unit 34a is reduced in accordance with the decrease in tension.

  Here, the fishing line is wound up while the button is pressed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a tension is applied at the moment the button is pressed, The tension of the fishing line is shortened for a moment, and the tension is released immediately after the button is released, and the fishing line is wound up while it is loosened. A time difference may be provided between the amount and the distance the fish are drawn. Further, in this case, the fishing line winding operation may be linked to the wheel rotation operation of the wheel mouse, the force applied to the fishing rod is operated by button operation, and the fishing line winding operation is performed by wheel operation. .

  In addition, as an input device used by the user, for example, a controller that can be operated by the user's hand can be used. This controller incorporates a sensor for measuring a change in inclination angle or a change in acceleration. May be. According to such a controller, an operation signal is generated as an operation in which the controller is lifted up or down by hand, and an operation that actually lifts or swings out the bag. The character may perform a fishing line winding operation. Various forms can be adopted as such a controller, for example, a mobile phone with a built-in acceleration sensor, a portable game machine with a built-in acceleration sensor, a game ROM with a built-in acceleration sensor, and the like.

  During the character winding operation, the event generation unit 269 monitors the movement amount and the accumulated movement amount, the tension is equal to or less than a certain threshold value, and the accumulation amount is a certain range value (below the upper limit threshold value, In addition, the winding operation is continued while the value is equal to or greater than the lower limit threshold. If the tension exceeds the threshold range due to excessive pulling or loosening of the fishing line ("Y" in step S110), the fish is disengaged from the fishhook and fishing fails (S112). In the determination process in step S110, the amount and time outside the threshold range (upper limit / lower limit) may be measured, and the success or failure of fishing may be determined accordingly. For example, even if the tension is the same strength, the fishing line may be cut depending on whether it is instantaneous or continuous, or the fish will escape if the fishing line has been loosened for a predetermined length or longer. It can also be.

  If the fishing line is wound up by a predetermined value or more without the tension exceeding the threshold value (“Y” in step S111), an event is generated assuming that fishing is successful (S113).

  In response to the event occurrence, the object control unit 270 outputs an animation of the character's fish-lifting action, and the event generation unit 269 notifies the game server 5 of the occurrence of the event (S114).

  The game server 5 records the type of fish caught and the user who caught the fish in the user database. At this time, the event generating unit 269 transmits an image of the character at the moment when the fish is picked up to the game server 5, and the game server 5 records the game service history in the “self chronology”.

  In addition, the game server 5 performs confirmation processing on the user in order to start processing for delivering fish caught by the user in response to the occurrence of the event (S115). In this process, it is confirmed whether or not to receive a fish delivery service, and a delivery destination or the like when receiving the service. Then, after the user's confirmation is obtained, the game server 5 performs a procedure for ordering fish and requesting delivery to the fish seller 6 (S116). Upon receiving this request, the fish seller 6 delivers the ordered fish to the user's home.

  On the user terminal 1 side, the user is prompted to select whether or not to continue the game. If the game is to be continued (“Y” in step S117), the processing from step S105 to S115 described above is repeated. On the other hand, if the game is to be ended ("N" in step S117), a logout process is performed, and the game server 5 performs a charging process for the online game providing service.

(Example of change)
In the above-described screen operation system, a fishing game has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, as in a flight simulation of a hang rider, lift is used as an operation amount, and altitude and flight distance are determined. A game that achieves a certain purpose with an action amount and its accumulated amount and generates an event, such as a hopping sport with an accumulated action amount or elastic force as an action amount and height or moving distance as an accumulated action amount The present invention can be applied.

  In detail, for example, the force applied to the oar is the amount of movement, such as rowing the boat, and the speed (movement distance) of the boat is the cumulative amount of the effect, or the hot air balloon burner is injected like the balloon operation. The amount of movement may be used, and the hot air balloon may be increased or decreased as the cumulative amount of effect. In addition, like musical instrument performance, breathing to a wind instrument or percussion rhythm can be expressed by an amount of movement, and the success rate of music performance can be expressed as an accumulated effect amount.

  Furthermore, an event generated as a result of effect accumulation is not limited to the above embodiment, and various forms can be adopted.

  For example, a virtual item search by continuous operation such as mushroom hunting and treasure hunting, an item discovery as a result of effect accumulation, and an event that an actual product is shipped as an event are generated. In this mushroom hunting and treasure hunt, operations such as characters walking around, digging the ground, raising animals such as pigs and dogs, and obtaining devices like landmine detectors The above-mentioned movement amount may be used, and the degree of growth of the animal, the accuracy (completeness) of the device, etc. may be used as the effect accumulation level, and an item corresponding to the degree of growth and accuracy may be found.

  In addition, the fishing game itself is not limited to the above embodiment, and instead of fish, a bottle with a treasure map can be caught instead of fish, which can lead to a treasure hunt in a virtual world. By using as a map of stores in the real world, it is possible to expect an effect of attracting customers to existing stores.

Industrial applicability

  As described above, according to the present invention, a more realistic GUI is provided in the operation of a simulation game or the like, and in an online game, for example, a virtual fish caught on the game is used as a real fish by a user. It can provide new businesses that link the virtual game world with real-world services, such as delivery to homes.
